Chapter 177 Don't Pass the Ball
In the NBA, as long as he is a serious defensive player, there is no player who has not been dunked, even for a player like O'Neal who attaches great importance to dignity.Tim Duncan is even worse than him, almost becoming the official background emperor.Many players who have never dunked Duncan are embarrassed to say that they have outstanding physical talents.
It's not that Jordan hasn't been dunked before, but he still feels a little uncomfortable being dunked by Xu Tian, who is yellow.But he was still able to restrain himself and ran forward with his head down.
Little Rivers didn't have so many worries, he quickly ran out of the baseline, and quickly served the ball before Xu Tian got up.
Kobe said to the referee standing in front of the Lakers bench, "DeAndre Jordan fouled!", but the referee ignored him and followed the players running on the field to the Clippers' offensive half.
Xu Tian couldn't wait for his teammates to pull him up, quickly bounced off the floor, and chased and defended the attacking Clippers players with full power.
Although Rivers Jr. is not particularly capable, he always feels that he is a superstar in his mind, ignoring Jamal Crawford's request for the ball, and singles Clarkson with the top of the arc.
Clarkson did not underestimate Rivers, lowered his center of gravity, and always kept in front of him.
Xu Tian ran very fast, taking advantage of Rivers Jr.'s blind singles, he retreated in place, and cracked the Clippers' chance to play more on a fast break.
Jamal Crawford was a little dissatisfied with the performance of his backcourt partner, but he knew that Rivers Jr. was a "relationship household", so he just dared not speak out, and obediently pulled to the left three-point line, ready to respond Little Rivers' pass.
Little Rivers' vision is not wide enough. He led Clarkson into the penalty area, and he could no longer see his teammates around him.
Get out of the way!
Jordan stretched out his arms, picked the melon behind Nance Jr.'s head, and got the offensive rebound hard.
In addition to shooting, Nance was surrounded by Jordan in all aspects of his abilities. He was completely helpless and could only foul directly to avoid being dunked by Jordan.
The referee blew his whistle in time to send Jordan to the free throw line.
Xu Tian pushed out the braces with his tongue, bit between his teeth, walked to the top of the arc and watched Jordan make free throws calmly.
George received Madsen's instructions and walked to the technical stage, preparing to replace Xu Tian after Jordan made the first free throw.
Jordan is a devilish muscular man, and his career attendance rate ranks among the top in the league, but he doesn't have many offensive methods, especially his weakness in free throws.Standing on the free throw line at this time, I can't help but tremble a little.
The stiff body movements completely betrayed Jordan.
The basketball didn't give face, and it fell directly into the hands of the referee.
Another referee standing on the sidelines blew his whistle to execute the Lakers and Clippers substitutions.
George replaced Xu Tian, and Blake replaced TJ Warren.
Griffin replaced Wesley Johnson and returned to the court to stabilize the situation.
Xu Tian took the towel and hot water from the caddy, sat on the empty seat between Thackeray and Kobe, first wiped his sweat, and then took a cup to watch Jordan's second free throw.
Coach Rivers folded his arms around his chest, watching Jordan's free throw with a blank expression.He knew that if Jordan missed his second free throw, they'd be in big trouble.
Jordan took deep breaths continuously, as if he wanted to suck all the air around him, but this still failed to eliminate the tension in his heart, and he was still soft when he made a free throw.
The basketball quickly flew into the air, and as if it had hit an invisible thick barrier, it suddenly turned sharply and ran towards Nance Jr.
Coach Rivers put his hands on his hips, walked back to the bench helplessly, and sat down in silence.He knew that the Lakers' chopping of Joe was unavoidable.
Xu Tian and Kobe discussed in a low voice about chopping Joe.
Kobe said: "The tactic of cutting Joe will affect the rhythm of the game. If you are leading, there is no need to use this tactic."
Xu Tian nodded and said: "That's right, but as long as Joe is cut, Doc Rivers will put him down, then the Clippers' defense will drop a lot, and our offense will be easier .”
"I thought you had the temper of an old-school player, and you only like to decide the outcome head-on." Kobe couldn't help laughing.
"You can decide the outcome head-on, or you can use tricks behind the scenes. As long as the result is winning, the decision you make is correct."
On the offensive end, George contributed a single with a dribble for more than 15 seconds. Xu Tian frowned and asked, "Kobe, did you teach Paul George not to pass the ball?"
"I just pointed out a little bit, but I didn't expect him to have a good understanding." Kobe's eyes flashed cheerfully.
Xu Tian shook his head helplessly, returned the water cup in his hand to the caddy, and continued to watch the game on the field.
Coach Rivers asked the big baby Glen Davis to replace Jordan, and use this fat center with less mobility to play the transition.
George is full of energy, showing the strength far beyond the Clippers' substitute players, and quickly beat Coach Rivers' timeout.
Xu Tian has been arranging George to defend the opponent's sharp knives recently. He has never seen George's offense very much. Now he is secretly surprised when he sees his level.But just to be on the safe side, I decided to observe for a while longer.
In order to defend George, Coach Rivers replaced Luke Richard Mbah a Moute, who is good at defense, to share Griffin's pressure.
Luke Richard Mbah a Moute is a qualified substitute player. Logically speaking, there is nothing to write about, but his off-court status is quite special, so there is still a bit of a story.
Ba Mote is the son of a local chief in Cameroon, and is called the "Prince of Cameroon" by fans, and Joel Embiid, who is recovering from his injuries at the 76ers, is also from Cameroon.Many fans will associate Embiid as a subject of Mbah a Moute. In fact, this is not clear, but one thing is certain-Mbah a Moute is the one who discovered Embiid's basketball talent. With the help and guidance of Matt, Embiid chose basketball and finally made it to the NBA.
These are not very important. What is important is that Mbah a Moute's playing still failed to block George's fiery touch. George scored 7 consecutive points in more than a minute.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers temporarily led the Clippers by 39 points with a score of 35-4.
TNT's sideline reporter called Scott to the sideline before the start of the second quarter and interviewed the nominal Lakers coach, asking him about his views on the Clippers' defense and the original intention of suddenly using George's main offense.
Scott is an old fritter, and he uttered a logical and meticulous tactical analysis out of nothing, so that the commentary who can understand his English greatly appreciated his understanding.
At the beginning of the second quarter, George and Kobe returned to the court at the same time. The firepower of the two guns in the backcourt was extremely fierce, and quickly penetrated the Clippers' defense, forcing Coach Rivers to call a timeout soon.
